All cities other than those of the first class located within the territory of the
consolidated local government, upon the successful passage of the question to
consolidate a city of the first class and its county, shall remain incorporated
unless dissolved in accordance with KRS 81.094 and shall continue to exercise
all powers and perform the functions permitted by the Constitution and general
laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky applicable to the cities of the class to
which they have been assigned.
Upon the adoption of a consolidated local government in a county containing a
city of the first class, there shall be no further incorporations of cities within the
county.
Upon the adoption of a consolidated local government in a county containing a
city of the first class, there shall be no annexations for a period of twelve (12)
years by any city remaining in the county. After that time, any proposed
annexation by a city in that county shall first receive the approval of the
legislative council of the consolidated local government prior to the city
proceeding under the provisions of KRS Chapter 81A. The city shall request
the approval of the consolidated legislative council by ordinance. The
consolidated legislative council's decision shall be made by ordinance and
within sixty (60) days of the receipt of the request by the affected city. If an
ordinance has not been enacted by the consolidated legislative council within
sixty (60) days, the request for a city to proceed with an annexation proposal
shall be deemed to be approved by the consolidated legislative council.
The adoption of a consolidated local government in a county containing a city
of the first class shall not prevent the merger or dissolution of any existing cities
as provided by law or the merger of any remaining cities with the newly
consolidated local government.
